What does gigapascal measure?

Gigapascal (GPa) measures pressure or mechanical stress and equals 10^9 pascals. It is commonly used in engineering and materials science.

When would I use exapascal units?

Exapascal (EPa) units express extremely large pressures found in astrophysics, neutron star studies, and high-energy theoretical physics.

How do I convert GPa to EPa?

To convert gigapascal to exapascal, multiply the GPa value by 1e-9 as 1 GPa equals 1e-9 EPa.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the context of pressure values before converting to ensure relevance
Use this conversion when bridging engineering pressures to extreme astrophysical scales
Be aware that converted values may result in very small numbers due to the large unit scale difference
Avoid using converted exapascal values for everyday engineering designs where GPa is standard

Limitations

Conversion often yields extremely small fractional values that might not be practical for common engineering use
Exapascal is mainly used in specialized scientific fields with extreme pressures and is uncommon elsewhere
The vast scale difference limits general applicability outside niche research areas
